WHY DOES IT HURT SO MUCH?!?!?

>>59718886
No shit you pussy ass s-s-s-s-s-stuttering bitch.

>>59718886
You could have a heart attack and die tomorrow, anon. You might not make it to Vega. Just think, you could have been enjoying similar performance with an Nvidia card for almost a year up to your death, yet instead you chose to wait and never got to know what that feels like. Sad!

>>59718949
b-but the Fury X was worth it, r-right?

My local store had an ad for Fury X for only 450 eurobucks, should I get one?

>>59718886
stop carving for obsolete tech and wait for DDR5 and NAVI

>>59719148
no, regular fury is much better value most of the time, i saw one for 280€ a few months back

>>59719226
DDR5 is already out anon

>>59719641
gddr5 (which is based on ddr3) is out, ddr5 is still years away

>>59719679
DDR5 is set to be finalized next year according to https://www.jedec.org/news/pressreleases/jedec-ddr5-nvdimm-p-standards-under-development

Though when the products reach market is a whole 'nother question.

I was pretty hyped for Ryzen and ended up getting a 1700X. pretty glad for it too.

I just can't bring myself to care about Vega though. there's nothing to suggest it won't be just another GCN iteration. I understand that AMD can make computing powerhouses but I don't mine bitcoins.

>>59718886
JUST wait™

>>59719814
same here, finished my 1700 build last week, but i endet up putting my R9 290 in it because what point is there in upgrading as long is i'm still on 1080p

>>59719888
> 1080p
Then at least get a 480 you huge faggot. or wait® for the 500 series.

>>59719974
why the fuck would he upgrade if his 290 is good enough for him
>hurr
>spend money
>buy buy buy

>>59719994
Because you should at least not have a huge bottleneck on your system. He fucking got a 1700, a 8 core CPU, his GPU should be on par with it.

>>59719974
> all settings maxed
> fps>monitor refresh rate
the only advantage the 480 has is its lower power consuption, but i dont give 2 shits about that, also its doubbles as a nice heater during the winter

>>59720021
yes but its not the gpu holding me back, its my screens

>>59720084
> fps>monitor refresh rate
then why did you get a 1700 in the first place? The $70 kaby pentium would do the same.

>>59720104
in gaming yes, but try running 2 different VMs on a pentium (protip: you can't), neither could my old 2500k (5,1 ghz stable for 5 years, best cpu ever), thats why i upgradet

>>59719814
>there's nothing to suggest it won't be just another GCN iteration
actually it does. tile based rasterization and more effective scheduler would change the performance drastically.

Fuck gddr5, hbm2 when?

>>59719888
I'm the same boat anon.
I've been waiting for Vega so I have some options before upgrading, since nothing amd has seems like a big jump from my 290x.

>>59719974
>Then at least get a 480 you huge faggot

Why the FUCK would you recommend """""upgrading""""" to an RX 480 from an R9 290? They perform almost identically.

>>59720461
> performance is almost identical
No, it isn't.

>>59720753
rx480 is 10% faster, WOW

>>59720753
>I've been reading about graphics cards since AT LEAST last month
A 480 is not a worthy upgrade to a 290.
